Barry Manilow – Copacabana (At The Copa) 0

(Disco intro)

Her name was Lola - she was a showgirl
With yellow feathers in her hair
And a dress cut down to there.
She would merengue and do the cha-cha,
And while she tried to be a star,
Tony always tended bar.
Across a crowded floor
They worked from 8 till 4.
They were young and they had each other -
Who could ask for more?

At the Copa (Copa), Copacabana (Copacabana) -
The hottest spot north of Havana -
(Here) {At the} Copa (Copa), Copa{cabana}
{Music and passion were always the fashion.
At the Copa} they fell in love.
(Copa, Copacabana...)

His name was Rico, he wore a diamond,
He was escorted to his chair,
He saw Lola dancin' there.
And when she finished, he called her over,
But Rico went a bit too far -
Tony sailed across the bar,
And then the punches flew,
And chairs were smashed in two,
There was blood and a single gun shot
But just who shot who?

At the Copa (Copa), Copacabana (Copacabana) -
The hottest spot north of Havana -
(Here) {At the} Copa (Copa), Copa{cabana}
{Music and passion were always the fashion.
At the Copa} (aaah!) she lost her love.
(Copa, Copacabana, Copa, Copacabana, Copacabana!)

(Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh!
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-,
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-, ah-ah-ah-ah,
Copa, Copacabana! Talking Havana, have a banana!
Music and passion always the fash-shun!)

(Disco interlude)

Her name is Lola, she was a showgirl,
But that was 30 years ago
When they used to have a show.
Now it's a disco, but not for Lola -
Still in the dress she used to wear,
Faded feathers in her hair
She sits there so refined
And drinks herself half-blind.
She lost her youth and she lost her Tony -
Now she's lost her mind!

At the Copa (Copa), Copacabana (Copacabana) -
The hottest spot north of Havana -
(Here) {At the} Copa (Copa), Copa{cabana}
{Music and passion were always the fashion.
At the Copa...} Don't fall in love...
(Copa, Copacabana) Don't fall in love...
(Copacabana, Copacabana)

(Copa,
Copacabana, Copacabana,
Copacabana, Copacabana,
Copacabana, Copacabana,
Copacabana, Copacabana)
